World at War magazine focuses on WWII themed games in a similar format to Decision Games other magazine, Strategy and Tactics, which has a wider historical base for its games.

Games (and feature articles) rotate through four categories, covering the Western and Mediterranean Theatres, the East Front, the Pacific Theatre, and a category for other battles and campaigns (such as the Battle of the Atlantic, Spanish Civil War, what-if battles such as Sealion or Moscow 1941)
